As part of an ongoing relationship with one of our clients in the technology industry, we delivered a women’s leadership program to women’s ERG participants within the organization. The two-day session leading up to International Women’s Day offered participants the rare opportunity to set daily responsibilities aside and focus on their personal and professional development. By taking a step back and looking at their careers–past, present, and future–participants had space to clearly articulate their values, vision, and goals for success. Participants left the session with an expanded network, both through the cohort they bonded with over the two day program and through the intentional planning they completed to create purposeful networking, mentorship, and sponsorship goals.
Case Study: Diversity Champions Leadership Intensive
In January and February 2020 we had the opportunity to partner with Intel again to design and deliver a two-day leadership intensive program for their Employee Resource Group (ERG) leaders – AKA the individuals who serve as Diversity Champions for various underrepresented minority groups within the organization.
Case Study: McKinsey & Company Women in Operations Mapping Career Strategy Workshop
During McKinsey & Company’s annual Women in Operations Day, Gild Collective was invited to deliver a short session on Mapping Career Strategy. We took advantage of a rare chunk of time—even just an hour—to focus on ourselves, or leadership purpose, and how that translates to our big objectives and strategies for achieving them in the year ahead. With a structure in place for how to break directional goals into manageable pieces, participants left the session with a clear strategy and opportunities to hold one another accountable in the process.
On a Mission
A few months ago, we started working with Stacy Kessler, a consultant who helps entrepreneurs find clarity in their business strategy. After a lot of whiteboarding, deep discussion and tweaking, we developed four elements to drive Gild Collective in its fifth year (!)—our vision, mission, purpose and core values.
Case Study: CBRE Women's Initiative
The Women’s Initiative at CBRE hosted Gild Collective for a Mapping Career Strategy workshop to kick off the year with a clear plan for participants. In addition to developing individual strategy maps, participants also made their own Leather Traveler’s Journal to embed their strategy map into for daily reference.
